Trent Williams, the 49ers’ left tackle, signed a new two-year contract this offseason, but he’s already calling it his last. Williams, who turned 38 this month, expects the 2027 season to be his final one as an active player.
The Mindset Shift
Asked on Sunday if this mindset changed his approach to training camp, Williams said it’s more about his “mind frame” than urgency. “I wouldn’t say it changed my urgency, but it does change my mind frame a little bit,” Williams told 49ersWebzone.com. “Like, instead of just coming to work, I actually try to soak it in. I just don’t know. Obviously, you know, it could be my last two years. It’s probably the plan.”
Still Vital for 49ers’ Run
He’s not slowing down yet, though. Williams was a second-team All-Pro last season and remains a vital part of the 49ers’ 2026 plans. His career contemplation plays out alongside his preparation to keep playing at a high level for a team hoping for a long postseason run.
The 49ers need every bit of that high-level play. His “soak it in” approach will be one to watch as their postseason hopes ride on it.
